I use the elmers ultimate/gorilla glue alot as well.. I have never used q-tips so much as just balsa scrap sticks, dip it in a little puddle of white glue, and work it in the joint. if its a tight joint I usually get both faces of the area wet with glue and then put it in place, and pin or weight the area...Pica used to make a white glue that worked like titebond, but dried MUCH faster, wish it was still around.
